Not a bug exactly. The only way that fd0 is accessible during installation, other than for making a boot disk, is if you boot with a disk in your Zip drive. Unfortunately doing so results in the drive not being properly set-up by devfs. >From my understanding at this time there is no resolution for this problem. Charles P.S. I'm in the same boat. I like to save pkg selection to floppy.
